Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 593

This movie was one that Violeta deemed worth sacrificing her own time for.

As a conventionally solid movie, it wouldn't reflect poorly on her career.

What she didn't expect was just how pumped her fans would be.

The buzz wasn't bought—it was all thanks to them.

Her fans took it upon themselves to hype up the film, posting all sorts of edited videos online. Thanks to their amazing efforts, a lot of these clips went viral on short video platforms.

Violeta had been out of the spotlight for a year and a half, so her fans missed her and were determined to see the movie.

The movie was Violeta's big debut in the movie world, and it was going head-to-head with other veteran films during the National Day holiday.

One of the rivals was Ophelia, with her new movie Dawn, which was her first take on a revolutionary-themed story.

Both movies had pretty much the same setting and time period.

Ophelia, being a veteran in the entertainment industry, was from the same era as Lydia.

After Lydia's downfall, Ophelia quickly took many of her resources, leading to a noticeable boost in her opportunities.

Among actresses in their thirties and forties, Ophelia remained a prominent figure, with her aired TV series consistently performing well.

She had also won the Best Supporting Actress Award before and was nominated for the Best Actress Award three years ago.

In terms of popularity, she wasn't as well-known as Lydia back in the day.

But when it comes to her work, she far outshone Lydia.

Ophelia was very confident that Dawn would be her chance to make another shot for awards.

During the promotional period, Ophelia was super active, showing up at the premiere and even doing a little skit with the lead actors at the cinema.

She also got a lot of industry friends to help spread the word.

The male lead in Dawn was Hugo York, a veteran actor who's won the Best Actor Award five times—a record that set him apart in the industry.

With top-notch leads and top-notch promotion, Dawn was set up for success.
